After reading Novaseeker’s latest post on escorts, I found a nice little piece on China Expat that uses the art of the short story to expose the longings and unmet needs of the men of our world to explain why there is a demand for such services. It is, indeed, a hard world out there [...]

Environmentalism and Feminism: An Attraction of Opposites
June 29th, 2009 · 11 Comments
I link to Urban Workbench, a website that promotes sustainable living, because I like the idea. It fits into my developing philosophy of husbandry, a term so easily rejected and laughed at today because it is the antithesis of our developing culture of squander and abandon. I also like the idealistic young men and women [...]

Irrepressible Passion
June 29th, 2009 · 5 Comments
As we go through yet another confusing transformation of our role in society as men, the question concerning our true nature rises yet again. It is clear that there is a rejection of the “traditional” role, which has really only been the standard since the Industrial Revolution swept up most of society about a century [...]

In a move that surely gives hope to millions of single mothers around America, Governor Sanford of SC has spurned his wife for a 44-year-old divorced woman who lives in Buenos Aires with her teenage children.

Feminism and the Conservative Right: a Veiled Political Alliance
June 25th, 2009 · 9 Comments
Although feminism and conservatism share some characteristics in common, such as dogmatism and an almost obsessive fixation on symbolic issues, it often appears at first glance that their interests are inimical and that they are engaged in a running gunfight in the halls of power. However, what seems obvious on the surface often masks a [...]

Shield Laws and False Convictions
June 25th, 2009 · 5 Comments
There is some consternation in the Seattle PI over the fact that an accused rapist is allowed to question his accuser while representing himself in trial. A number of women apparently find this outrageous, because they hold that rape has a metaphysical effect on the alleged victim that goes beyond any other crime. The alleged [...]

I’d like to wish a happy Father’s Day to everyone out there, because even those of us who are not fathers all have one. So whether you have children or not, and whether your father is still with you or not, I hope today brings you some happy time with your children and your father [...]

Why the Market Ignores Men
June 20th, 2009 · 5 Comments
I recently read an older piece on Salon titled “Save the Males” about the work of Warren Farrell, a former radical feminist who gave up a very lucrative career in feminism when he began to advocate men’s rights as well. According to the article, he drove a Maserati, had a “gorgeous” home in the country [...]
How Online Content can Eventually make a Profit
June 19th, 2009 · No Comments
The declining profits and looming failures of newspapers and record labels have launched a massive effort to figure out how to make money off digitized content, which is so easily copied that it seems impossible to control. Some software companies have been looking into Digital Rights Management technology (DRM), while music labels have been using [...]

Harpending on Illegitimacy: Blush on the Cheeks of Reality
June 15th, 2009 · 6 Comments
While perusing the Google for illegitimacy stats, I came across an old Sailer article titled “Black Illegitimacy Declines” that was written for UPI back in 2003. Like a number of other bloggers, I have been thinking about the “canary in the coal mine” theory, which suggests that what happened to black society and the black [...]
